Overview

Since 1988, Business Week has been producing its list of MBA Rankings. Every two years, Business Week ranks the top 30 US MBA programs and the top 10 non-U.S. MBA programs.

Methodology

Below is a breakdown of the criteria that Business Week uses in it's MBA rankings:

45% - Student Satisfaction Surveys
45% - Corporate Recruiter Surveys
